Near the end of her shift, Molly anticipates her date with Rodney while trying to suppress memories of finding Charles Black dead. She worries about Giselle’s future and the burden of holding her friend’s secrets. After finishing her rooms, she changes into casual clothes and heads to the Social.

In a secluded booth, Rodney expresses concern and asks if police mentioned Juan Manuel. He gently prompts Molly to recount the discovery in 401, holding her hand as she describes finding Charles Black dead after noticing the suite in disarray.

Rodney presses for specifics. Molly tells him the safe was open, the money and the deed she’d seen earlier were gone, and Giselle’s unmarked pills were spilled by the bedside. She adds that Giselle had a flight itinerary visible and that police seemed mostly, but not entirely, convinced of natural causes. When Rodney asks if police inquired about Giselle or about him, Molly grows uneasy; Rodney backtracks.

Rodney gives Molly his number, urging her to call if police press her further. They exchange numbers, and he departs quickly. Outside, Mr. Preston hails a cab for Rodney and then cautions Molly that Rodney may not be trustworthy, deepening her sense that the pieces of the situation are not fitting together.
